NFL Week 9: Examining DraftKings Cafe Value

Week in and week out we are diving into the best value plays at various positions. Each week always plays out differently, especially when deciding what areas to spend down on, and where to spend up. While many articles point out the top values, we hope to guide you in lineup construction as well. Pricing on DraftKings generally ties into fantasy point outcome, matchups, and ownership a little more than FanDuel does who use production as a heavier weight. Injuries, seasonal changes, and matchups all create value, and here at DFC we break that down for you. Our content is focused on the Main Slates, but you can find me answering questions in the comments, or on Twitter at @JGuilbault11. Premium access grants full list of value plays.

Obviously after last week, Houston's numbers against quarterbacks took a hit. They are now allowing the 5th most fantasy points per game this season, and rank 14th in DVOA. Jacoby Brissett is in the best spot among guys under $5,500 this week, as Andy Dalton sees Jacksonville, and Joe Flacco is just in a mess offense. Brissett can gain some extra fantasy points with his legs, and has been airing it out over 37 times per game in the last three. As two touchdown underdogs, Indy will be playing keep up in this game, and their is some potential for garbage time points. In fact, you can look at T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle, and Marlon Mack as low-priced options this week who should see above average volume in this spot.
